Pause button Problem

[amrapalik]

I have a button which pauses the main time line on click. Now, I have a additional button on the main timeline, which loads a pop up movie clip. I want that movie clip to pause as well. What script do i write to pause the movie clip as well?

did you manage to solve this issue? As I have the same problem

Just put

_root.a.stop();

In the button script, where a is the name of the instance of the movie clip you want to stop.

thanks for the tip.

My main time line is v. long and has 5 or 6 different movie clips embedded into it. Do I just need to add all the file names into the command or is there a general code that will stop any embedded movie clip?


thanks once again
